SHAM CROWN JEWELS.
Alleged Fraudulent Transactions in the
Recent Sale of Royal Gems in Paris.

Alleged Fraudulent Transact ions in the
Recent Sale of Royal Gems in Paris.
1t is openly asserted in Paris that the re-
cent sale of the crown jewels was largely
fraudulent. That is to say, they were not,
in many cases, the crown jewels at all A
syndicate OF Paris jewellers got into a con-
spiracy with some of the governmental off,
GERS in charge of the sale, and had a great
number of ordinary gems taken from their
stores, mixed in and sold v'-h the crown
jewels. Thus they brought far mere than
their ordinary value. THIS job was, Of
course, facilitated by the breaking up Of the
crown jewels, selling the stones separately
and melting down the gold. The detectives
seated that the spurious jewels thus sold
brought more than 1Jo0. go francs, which
was nearly double what tkey would have
sold for ON their own merits Some Of these
false jewels have been traced and their pur-
chssers ascertained A few Of them went 20
America. But the majority of them could
not be distinguished from the real crown
jewels among which they were sold The re-
suit is that many purchasers VIII h-ncef0rth

Gratifying Growth shown by the Report
Aa OF tho Secretary

Gratifying Growth shown by the Report
AS OF tho Secretary.
LANSING, Nov. 1.-THE annual address
of Worthy Master Dafden before the
national grange last evening showed
gratifying success in the grange during the
year. There have been established Ia
new oranges; the state grange of Nebraska
has been re- established and work begun in
Rhode Island, which completes the circle of
the states. The Master urges that the
order be kept prominently befo-e the
public, and expresses the belief that with
lecturers in every congressional district
the membership could be increased
fifty per cent. in three months.
Through class legislation, the Master
says, the farmers are deprived of a
just rscompense for thsir toll. He asserts
that not over production but an insufh-
cheney of money and an unjust
legislation caused the stsgnation of busi-
ness. The interstate law is a move in the
right direction, and the prediction is made
by the worthy Master that railroads viii
sooner or later be compelled to carry goods
al specified charge per 100 pounds per
mile. Master Darden believes that the
Fiftieth Congress will make the ComDlis-
sioner of Agriculture Cabinet officer.
Governor Luce delivered an address. of
welcome today, which was responded to
by Master Darden. Addresses were also
delivered by Hon. o. N. Barnes, Congress
man Allen, President Willets, Colonel
Brigham, of Ohio. and Hon. ]. Nj. Lips
comb, of South Carolina.
The much expected California exhibit is
nearly all in place. While the display in
the Senate Chamber is not large it is of a
high order.
Gov. Luce is receiving many compliments
for his part in pushing the drive well mat
ter to conclusion so satisfactory to the
farmers.
The Grange held closed session this
morning. The Secretary and Treasurer
made theig reports. The former showed
sa.is.actorT progress OF the order.

Two Indiana Hunters Are lined $50 for

received a telegram from the deputy al
Latner, Michigan, stating that there were

that they were attempting 10 smuggle some

board checked as baggage. The trsin ar
rived at the Union depot al s:45 and just a.

Deputy Game Warden l. A Towne arrived

had ia his possession the number OF the bag

and soon unloaded the same from the bag

their baggage come out OF the train

Deputy Towne immediately placed them
under arrest for violating the game laws
They gave their names a. Wallace Hannah

that the boxes did not coDisin any yeni-
son. Tho Deputy said that il they would
open the box and verify their claims he
would allow them 10 continue their Jour

boxes contained csrcass and q half of
